Parents were asked ‘What did you enjoy most about the party?’

“Santa was very friendly and took his time with the children. My daughter often struggles with characters, and he made such an effort to include her along with my son. We loved all the arts and crafts specially making decorations and reindeer food, had we have done that anywhere else it would have cost money I don't have to spare. Also loved the healthy fruit and water for the children this year and would like to see that again next year.” parent of a 6 and 7-year-olds. “We absolutely loved meeting Santa, I think he's the best one I have ever seen even as an adult and I am so glad he's the first one my son met. It was amazing to have a free morning out with so many activities and including a session from the libraries which I am going to go to in the New Year. I also found out about other groups and sessions as well as some adult learning classes for myself.”. Parent of 10-month-old. “The DJ was a great addition this year and gave it more of a party feel and the activities were all amazing, every table had something different and we took home so many things, not just ats and crafts but toothbrushes, books, parent guides and lots of information too. We enjoyed everything on offer especially having the snacks this year which was a great idea and it being free means you can go without worrying about hidden costs.” Parent of 3-year-old.

Providers were asked “What did you enjoy most about the event?’

“It was useful to be able to network with other professionals and providers at the event. The event was busy, and it was lovely to see all of the families enjoying themselves, having fun and being active. It was really well organised, thank you for all of the communications and information in the run up to the event.” “The engagement from the families was great, the range of information stands and opportunities to network and share resources. The activities and the effort made by the team and stall holders was wonderful and the families seemed to benefit.” “Such a great event each year. It really starts the Christmas season for us and gets us in the Christmas spirit. It's wonderful seeing the kids having so much fun , it's great for us as providers as we get to engage with the parents whilst the kids are doing an activity and the parents and carers we spoke to throughout the day were all so positive about the event, and its free, such a good event for the community!”
